Out and about after a long winter – April 3, 2014

The buds on our cherry blossoms are beginning to appear which means the flowers are not far behind. Although this has been a long, cold and wet winter in Annapolis, Maryland we are shedding our winter coats for lighter weight clothing and getting out to see the daffodils and forsythia in bloom. So, if you are looking for a getaway to Annapolis now is the time to begin planning and booking your room here at Flag House Inn. Whether mid-week or weekend we are happy to try and accommodate your requests. Mid-week rates are reduced in case you were wondering.

So, what is happening in town that you might like to enjoy. Of course, there are always the boat rides from the City Dock which is just a two minute walk from our front porch at Flag House Inn B&B. Visiting this William Paca House, the Chase Lloyd House or the Hammond Harwood House should also be a priority to see homes that were built in the 1700’s and still in beautiful condition today.

For an insightful lecture to expand your thoughts and mind you might want to go to St. John’s College Key Auditorium on Friday evenings at 8 PM for the free lecture series each week. This week on Friday, April 4 Tutor Robert Goldberg will be speaking on “The Liberal Education of Plato’s Laws.” For future Friday lecture information visit http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/events/AN/lectures.shtml.

On Wednesday evening, April 9 at 7:30 PM in McDowell Hall on St. John’s College campus the Erik S. Kristensen Memorial Lecture will be presented by war correspondent and military historian The Honorable Francis J. “Bing” West. The title of the lecture is “Lessons from a Decade of Frustrating War”. So put on your thinking cap and be sure to attend. For more information go to http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/events/AN/kristensen-lectures.shtml.

If you are looking for a theater performance you should visit the Colonial Players on East Street (just a five minute walk from Flag House Inn) and see “Bat Boy” which is playing through April 19. Ticket information and a synopsis of the play can be found at http://thecolonialplayers.org.

Looking forward to seeing you when you come to Annapolis, Maryland and stay with us at Flag House Inn.
